I tested here localy with a TX3 mini with a small vfd (only clock) and it’s working normally.
I sent the device to suspend at 9:01. Resumed it on 9:03 and vfd updated to 9:04 and continue working.
Maybe you can provide a dmesg | paste if it happens again?

95

Loving the CoreELEC 19 nightly builds, working great. However could we please get the change log like we had with the CoreELEC 18 nightlies. Thanks.

Beelink GT King Pro has some remote control issues.Keys sometimes try to do different things.Sometimes you do one channel up or down, the remote will switch 4 - 5 channels.

@Betatester we missed to port the OpenVFD addon to Kodi Matrix.
Please download the addon ZIP here and install the addon:


If no errors are found @TheCoolest will merge the changes.

There is no changelog existing right now. Because of the force pushes the changelog will include 3000 or more commits

@Betatester

Let us know if Temp works.
Mine shows 0 c and stays on permanent.
Ignores intervals and Display for settings.

101

This maybe because your remote is issuing CEC commands, try disabling CEC.

this is a Python 3 issue:
ERROR <general>: OpenVFD -> int expected instead of float

103

(Odroid-N2+ 1with the last update-223 version)
It shows both CPU and GPU Temperature correctly. sometimes 37C sometimes 40C

104

I fixed the CPU issue. please download the zip and install the addon again:

105

crazyturk, which remote control you are using and did you setup anything? So I can repeat the steps.

More is my question how you got anything else than a clock on the vfd?
The OpenVFD addon was not compatible with Python 3 and therefor not available in CE repo!?

108

GPU and CPU temp both show correctly as 55 C under System Info.

dmesg log

Will do if it happens again. I may not have waited long enough. Will try again this evening. BTW, LCD display is HH:MM, nothing else. We determined about a month ago the display on this device is rather rudimental, displaying time only.

Beats me. I added the vfd.conf from 9.2.5 stable and it started working.

The chip is an FD650B-S / CF AXHXAA44

My Experience with Odroid-HC4:
Netflix works perfectly.
YouTube works perfectly.
Passthrough: Unlike the N2 +, it works perfectly with the HC4 in all audio formats.
All transitions like faster than N2 +, instant response to the response of the keyboard or remote control and fluid like butter.
Same as Oled-Display Leia, Working.
pvr.iptvsimple: I see IPTV channels as in N2 +, but it doesn’t play videos.
I tried @roidy Odroid N2 OLED software, it conflicts with the original software of the HC4, the fonts are mixed together.
To sum up, the HC4 and the Matrix are surprisingly good.
Thanks to all those who contributed.

Original air mouse and other air mouse + keyboard control.Both give the same error.
The config file is the config file I use in kodi 18.
